Just when you think human decency can’t sink any lower, along comes some genius with the idea to create a dog fighting app for cell phones.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick quickly spoke out against the controversial cell phone app called “Dog Wars” that allows users to virtually fight dogs. Vick has been outspoken against dogfighting since a 2007 conviction on that charge sent him to federal prison for 18 months.

“I’ve come to learn the hard way that dogfighting is a dead-end street,” Vick said in a statement posted on the Humane Society’s website. “Now, I am on the right side of this issue, and I think it’s important to send the smart message to kids, and not glorify this form of animal cruelty, even in an Android app.”

The LA Times received an e-mail from an official for Kage Games, the creator of the Dog Wars app for Android phones, stating that proceeds from the game will go toward animal rescue organizations and the Japanese tsunami relief effort.

The spokesperson would not release his name for fear of critics.

Unbelievable.

Michael Vick seems to be a reformed man and it’s good to see him jump into the forefront in combating animal cruelty.

Remove the game….. that is the only right thing to do. Statements mean nothing. Donating proceeds mean nothing. Kage Games – Continue the message that dog fighting is ok and you are a sick company with sick morals. Boycott the company! Then their proceeds mean nothing.
